Volksturm Platoon

Contains nine K98 rifle teams with Panzerfaust (including one HQ team), one optional MG08/15 LMG team, one Small three-hole base, nine Medium four-hole bases & one Hole plug sprue.

With the tide of war now against Germany, the Volkssturm (People’s Militia) represents its last line of defence. The Volkssturm was drawn from ranks of the population previously considered unfit for military service, including younger boys (aged 13-18) and older men (many of whom were veterans of World War I).

After being called up, the units received only rudimentary military training, and their equipment was a motley collection of standard-issue German equipment and simplified weapons designed for militia use.
